Feedback from last year's attendees

Great opportunity for women to network with other successful women in the Banking industry. It was good to learn from other people's careers, life journeys and hear about their experiences. Made me realize we are not alone and that everyone is in a similar boat.”

— Susan E. Bagh

Former Wells Fargo, Vice President, Business Aligned IT Strategy & Transformation

There is something empowering about being in a room with empowered women who are present and engaged to listen, learn, grow and connect. It is illuminating, and gives each attendee an opportunity to carry that flame back to their own banks and teams. That is how we affect change. Love that."
